India vs South Africa, Women's World Cup Final: How Many Overs Must Be Completed In Case Of Rain-Curtailed Match?

India will face South Africa in the much-anticipated Women's World Cup final at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. Both teams are facing each other for the first time in an ODI World Cup final, and the Women's Cricket will have a new ODI champion.

The tournament has seen several matches being called off due to rain, and the weather forecast is not very favourable for the summit clash. The India vs Bangladesh group stage was already called off due to rain, and the final will also be held at the same stadium.

There is a 15-60% chance of rain during the match, and stop-start rain could play a spoilsport during the game.

As per ICC's Section 13.6, “The semifinals and final shall have a reserve day allocated on which an incomplete match shall be continued from the scheduled day. No other matches shall have a reserve day allocated.”
